Common use of Investigation and Sanctions Clause in Contracts

Investigation and Sanctions. The Tribal Gaming Agency shall investigate any reported violation of this Compact and shall require the Gaming Operation to correct the violation upon such terms and conditions as the Tribal Gaming Agency determines are necessary. The Tribal Gaming Agency shall be empowered by the Tribe’s Gaming Ordinance to impose fines or other sanctions within the jurisdiction of the Tribe against gaming licensees or other persons who interfere with or violate the Tribe’s gaming regulatory requirements and obligations under IGRA, the Gaming Ordinance, or this Compact, as long as the process through which a fine or other sanction is imposed comports with the fundamental principles of due process comprised of effective notice, and an opportunity to present evidence and argument to an impartial adjudicator. The Tribal Gaming Agency shall report violations of this Compact that pose a substantial threat to gaming integrity, public health and safety, or the environment, or continued violations that, if isolated might not require reporting, but cumulatively pose a threat to gaming integrity, public health and safety or the environment, and any failures to comply with the Tribal Gaming Agency’s orders to the California Gambling Control Commission and the Bureau of Gambling Control in the California Department of Justice within ten (10) days of discovery.
